-
The time limit on photo sharing and photo retention is being enforced as a client privacy control measure and also to limit the cloud storage cost borne by BBL. Your understanding and cooperation is much appreciated.
Interruptions due to unforeseen circumstances
-
In cases of external unforeseen circumstances (including but not limited to rain, bandh/strike, etc) resulting into a cancelled photoshoot less than 10 business days from the schedule date, a reschedule will be offered to the client on the next available and mutually agreeable date. The client will have to pay additional 50% of the advance payment (25% of the total order value) as exceptional reschedule fee. Also the client will still have to pay the balance 50% of the bill value before the start of shoot as required by the standard payment terms.
-
If the exceptional reschedule fee is not paid within 2 business days of payment link being shared by BBL, the agreement between client and BBL stands canceled. Any amount paid for the confirmed booking thus far will be retained by BBL.
-
For external unforeseen circumstances it is not fair or feasible for BBL to bear the entire liability of lost opportunity cost. Hence a small part of the liability (25%) is being passed to the client to keep it sustainable for BBL as a business.
-
In cases of personal exigency on part of BBL a reschedule at the earliest possible mutually agreeable time will be offered at no additional cost to the client. The entire amount of advance payment will be used towards the rescheduled booking.
